Chillin' at home all week and took some pics of some of the residents of my 46 community tank. A couple of the red velvet ladies (the male sword likes 'em big): It's so easy to sex male swords - duh, they have mustaches. Or is that a soul patch? Whatever it is, he does alright with the ladies, let me tell ya. One of the girls struttin' her stuff: These guys just like to line up and watch the action. And the SAE who single-handedly destroyed the diatoms that encrusted my rocks and driftwood. That rock he is on was literally brown before he came along.

VERY nice pictures ! I absolutely LOVE ANY kind of Red fish. They are my favorites.
I'm curious,... Wonder what colors of fish others like; or is it the type of fish that's a favorite and the color is secondary ? Opinions/Comments ?

Lots of oranges with a splash of blue contrast from the betta. (Bettas make great community members in my experience. Zero aggression to others.) I hate seeing them in those little blue cups so I rescue one once in a while.

Thanks! But it's more like I've got a good lens and camera plus lots and lots of time behind them both. (Oh, and knowing Photoshop pretty well doesn't hurt, either.)

Nice! I love the bright red swords. I had koi swordtails for awhile and loved them...but I've gone over to the dark side (guppies) in my community tanks.

...but I've gone over to the dark side (guppies) in my community tanks. Thanks. LOL to the guppies comment. These swordtails are real baby-makers, but I hear guppies are like rabbits on viagra. BTW - anybody need any cute little swordtails...?
